Tate modern & Ai Weiwei presented the work “SUNFLOWER SEEDS” an extreme big area in Tate covered by almost 100 milion sunflower seeds made out of porcelain in a village 1000km away from Beijing
The innovative system of Tate & Ai’s in interaction is that for the first time the relationsip of the artist to the viewer is not ending at the exhibition. Both Tate & Weiwei are interested into engaging the viewer into the artwork.
This is why they created an online website, where the artist is answering the questions that the viewers now users as well recorded after seeing the exhibit.
My Question (unfortunately did not took an answer probably my voice was not loud enough )
Below is an answered by the artist Question
The system is really well designed..when you leave Tate you are able to note down the date and time that your video was recorded and uploaded and by that time search into the website for your answer as well..
Lots of people took part into it..lot’s of videos..probably a good archive or a movie later?we will see..
